Since this whole topic degenerated into the usual balance flamefest where every topic ends up if unmoderated it's time for it to clean up. Locking this down for a while. Any posts made after my post [page 233] not addressing the changes in this patch directly and containting flames or general balance whine will get banned for at least a week. ~Nyovne

There is way too much flaming in this thread right now. Calm down before you post! (Page 271) ~iamke55

I just hope the changes dont come thru like that. It just feels like QQing gets rewarded too easily. They shoulda let more time pass like most of the progamers suggested. They need to let people try to adjust at least. I.E. the hellion hasnt been changed forever but only recently people figured out that it can actually do a shitton of damage. Figuring things out just takes time.

Now people are just gonna whine on forums after every single loss because it's so much easier than finding a solution. And they even get rewarded for doing so after only a few weeks...

I would think the barracks build time change has a lot of downsides, like basically making every terran relearn every opening because the timings are completely off.

Horrible change if it's designed to fix nonsensical cheese. Don't break every build just to fix ladder cheese.


What builds does 5 seconds change? 12 rax 13 gas is still 12 rax 13 gas. The only thing that will change that I can see is 11 gas 13 rax... The factory is 5 seconds later, so like 3 real seconds later.

11/11 is probably the big one. I doubt it's intended as a big nerf, just a little tweak to make rax rushes weaker and generally slow down Terran just a touch.


It changes every build, because the orbital comes later, and that cascades down every build.

I don't think it will likely make anything significantly weaker, but the idea that I have to relearn the timings of every opener because of nonsense like 11/11 is just annoying. There should be better ways to balance things, and I honestly hope this doesn't stick.

Well they changed every Protoss build to mess with 4gate in PvP..this is a much lesser change than that too. It's annoying but how else to give 11/11 (widely considered too strong in Korea) a little nerf?

Hellions has always been OP, not after one tournament ... always. I pointed it out MONTHS ago, but the blog were closed by Hitlers mods for QQing. Who's right now, bitch?

Now we just need to lower the health of marines starting health and/or marauders health/damage.

I dont understand why seeker missle is buffed but it remains awkward to get i wouldnt mind switching it with pdd for a small damage nerf or something. Same with the blue flame are people really even going to bother 150/150 for it now?

Toss has no way of keeping up with zerg macro, which is why we NEED the threat of all-ins to have zergs make some units once in a while. Even the mere threat of blink all-ins makes (made?) playing PvZ on xel naga somewhat more bearable. Seriously, if there is no all-in-threat in PvZ at all, it will become ridiculously zerg favoured very fast.

OTOH the current Zerg beloved strategy of making a shitton of roaches and a-moving will be more comfortably dealt with. With immortals having improved range they'll put their sick DPS to use.


I'm still not convinced, but we'll see - on maps where it's not really safe to FFE, I've always been of the opinion that only the metagame (4 gate, blink all-in) makes it balanced. 4 gate got nerfed, blink got nerfed.

Zerg still has the very real threat of overrunning you with ling/roach, while on the other hand toss can't really threaten a droning zerg. But maybe I'm wrong and going 3 gate exp robo with constant immortal production (all chrono on robo) will work out.

You are completely overreacting. It won't effect your build anymore than an early scout would. Sure, it's noticeable but it won't break anything other than possibly a 2rax. Still the fact that it works in both close and far spawns kinda nullifies that argument. It's just a slightly general nerf to terran early game, which may or may not be needed.

Loads of toss buffs. The immortal range i can see having an effect vs 1/1/1 since they can hit tanks easier. The blue flame change is expected, the rax one is kind of useless and the fungal i'm not sure. Does it mean marines die in 1 less fungal?
Edit: I say the rax change is useless because, except for 11/11 rax which it won't affect too much, irc there was a pause between the 15th scv and when the rax finishes so you can build an oc? I expect it to be about 5 seconds so it times up perfectly now in order to not change other build by terran.

Anyone else excited for the Ultralisk build time reduce?


Its an interesting move. I do like how they've now made it the fastest Tier 3 unit to train, did feel that whenever I went Ultras in any match-up it took way too long.

I dunno though, I still feel that the ultra needs a bit more love. Can't go too far or else it would get super imbalanced, but maybe like +1 base armour?

I just can't wait to do a 4 immortal drop zealot warp in hatch snipe. I'm just going to try all sorts of crazy drops win or lose due to survivability of WP which was basically an auto loss before.

Buff the early game defenses of other races. As a non-cheeser that's always my stock fix for everything.

I dont get why blizzard sometimes do too drastic changes immediately, like making overseers 50 gas instead of 75, and similar for other situations. Now dts will be much worse vs zerg because it doesnt matter that you force them to make lots of overseers.

BFH have been used months before the MLG in the GSL and were really popular in the ladder even before that. It's only that the foreigner kids are oblivious to these shifts and that's why no foreigner Terran can compete.

Can't you only put 2 immortals in a warp prism? Or are you gonna send 2, in which case you crazy

I love it though, maybe people will start using the warp prism as an updated shuttle
